Regeneration

What a great addition to Roslindale! I almost can’t let myself go in there too frequently — they have so much great stuff! Clothes, bags, shoes, gifts, my faaavorite yarn.

Very cute. I like it and it is a good addition to the ‘hood. There are a lot of different price points, so that is good. There is also a bit of something for everyone, clothes, books, trinkets, jewels, fun crafty things. I hope the store flourishes here for many years :)

Regeneration, how do I love thee?
You appeared out of nowhere on my favorite little street in Roslindale this fall, and every time I go in you have more great, funky, really well-​chosen stuff to offer me. Your clothes are right up my alley and they’re just affordable enough — any cheaper and I’d start getting suspicious. I love the mix of vintage and new (oh, there are a couple of shoes I wish were my size!) and all the great accessories like really, really nice tights and hats and simple, modern jewelry. And weird but somehow perfect housewares. Your sense of design is divine. And your dog Shaft is the best. Thank you for adding such a great vibe to an already pretty awesome stretch of shops. I heart Roslindale even more now because of you.

Roslindale Village is lucky to have Regeneration in its midst and I hope the community will support it! The shop has a charming, inventive and soulful vibe imbued by the owner Kelly’s creativity, and she’s great too! It’s the kind of place that you’ll always find something you hadn’t expected, though it will reliably have cool clothes old and new, something artsy Kelly has made, perhaps a funky piece of furniture or jewelry — and gifts you thought you’d give away but would be tempted to keep yourself — all very reasonably priced. Even the story of the dressing room that’s written on the store’s website shows real creativity and thought. Regeneration is just the kind of place that’s a pleasure to support by shopping locally.

I can go here and find anything for anybody and feel great about it. The beauty in each item they carry from clothing to soaps, shoes to baby clothes, cards and wonderfully handmade purses, shirts skirts, wooden vases. oh its endless this lil gem of a store. The store is not so big howevr it’s like a treasure chest anything your good soul desires. I looove all the jewelery its my dream store and it is so very eco– conscious and friendly. I will always support them and all they do the service is sweet and the dog that is there is ever so cute. This is truly a special place in my heart and in eagle rock. I wish the owner much business she’s a real sweetheart doing us all and the earth good!

Lovely store for eco-​friendly threads/​gifts. Now the lamentable bit: it’s closing. Many items are marked down. The owner will continue to sell their clothing designs online (Check out OCD shark. The wraps are super suh-​weet too.)
Natural fiber clothing. Eco home décor & gifts. Vintage furniture, housewares, and clothes. Tree branches display clothing — all this makes Jenn L’s heart go pitter patter. Check out the cards by the register, they’re priced very reasonably and WAY more memorable than your average greeting card.
The staff person let us peruse at our leisure. There’s a wee area in the back for trying on clothes. I walked out of here with two tops and a few small gift-​y items for about sixty bones. The only thing that could have made the experience better would be a clear breakdown of what is discounted for the sale. It makes pandas cry to learn this place is closing, but I hope the owner can re-​open another shop in the future — the mix of vintage/​art + environmental-​friendly vibe gave the place a super comfortable feel that escapes some eco-​conscious shops.
Plenty of parking on Colorado. Near Fatty’s. Make sure to close the patio gate so doggie stays indoors. :)

i can’t believe this store is going out of business:(where will i shop now?
they had adorable, affordable, eco-​friendly clothes and yummy for tummy milissa shoes. i just discovered this little shop a couple months ago and had been telling all my girl friends cause apparently nobody knew about this amazing find of a store and i soon found out they were having trouble making ends meet. the problem i think is the location. they are just too far off the beaten path. if this place had foot traffic, they would be swamped. who doesn’t love eco-​chic?
please, please, please regeneration, don’t close, move!!!

Phew! I finally made it to this place! Every time I pass by it and every time I look up stuff in Eagle Rock on Unilocal Regeneration is the FIRST thing that pops up. So, I think, I really need to stop by.
To me, this shop embodies the other side of Eagle Rock. IMIX Bookstore completely takes the intellectual, artsy, ethic side of Eagle Rock. Regeneration celebrates the green, eco-​friendly, über chic Eagle Rock. Owl Talk does great with vintage stuff, but I honestly believe that Regeneration takes it very upscale.
Walking in, I was immediately drawn to their bargain rack. They had a super cute A-​line skirt going for $ 5! FIVE DOLLARS! That’s a foot-​long at Subway! But it’ll last more than 10 minutes of munching. ^_​^ The clothes here are definitely vintage, but good quality vintage. They can range from $ 5 bargain bin to $ 30 organic cotton tees to $ 40 organic polo shirts and shawls.
The home décor is eclectic and fabulous. You can find everything from perfume to vintage wooden cabinets. I saw this absolute gorgeous vanity going for around $ 200. WOW. They even have a wonderful collection of books, knick-​knacks, and post-​cards. All local, all from organic or recycled materials, all good.
Oh yeah, the guy who works there (seems to be either the owner or just the lone shop clerk) will always greet you and generally leave you alone to gawk around, which is actually really nice. However, he’s very enthusiastic about the stuff Regeneration carries and knowledgeable about it too. So, feel free to ask him about stuff.
There’s something for every style and every price budget. Great place for gifts or just something to make your home feel a little more eco friendly chic. Go there and love the world away.

I love this place and I was very sad to hear that Kelly is closing the store because of the economy. It’s such a shame that the neighborhood will be losing a great independent store.

Back in the day, I would hunt for treasures in thrift stores because I didn’t have much money, but was always thrilled with my latest «find.»
Regeneration evokes that same feeling but this time around I am finding new, recycled or repurposed items, that were given a new life. I found gifts for friends who started having kids, Pacifica candles for holiday gift exchanges, and a pair of gently worn Camper women’s boots for – drum roll please – $ 15!
I couldn’t fit the pair of the Mon Petit Oiseau pants that someone stitched the outline of what else on the back pocket? A petit oiseau! I was curious about the Melissa recycled plastic flats and platforms. I may get the recycled Thai wood appetizer platters with a cut out for one’s wine glass for someone on my holiday list.
Set aside some time for browsing and bring your KCRW card for your discount.

I love this spot!
Totally cute collection of nic-​nacs and clothes for kids and adults.
Workers are totally nice and I love any boutiqe that has independent artist and designers!

Fabulous selection! Many used items that have been given new life with silk-​screening. Tons of environmentally friendly items. I have a long wish list.

It’s true. This store is extremely cute and very affordable. I went on the recommendation of Unilocal,from LA goes Green, and I was not let down by what I found.
First thing I spotted? A vintage pair of pointy heels, in yellow, exactly what I had been looking for! They were designer from 1974. I braced myself for the price tag. Wait for it: only 17 bucks. Sweet! It was like eco-​karma.
The other parts of the store were marked down an additional 75% off. The sales girl was super friendly and helpful. She picked out clothes she felt matched my style, and she was dead on. A gently used Nanette Lapore skirt for $ 45. I was in heaven.
And, even though it was hard NOT to shop for myself, Regeneration is a wonderful place to find gifts for someone else, too. They carry eco-​minded books, organic bath and perfume products, stationary made from elephant poo (non-​odorous), and many, many other fashionable and useful items.
Don’t miss this store. If you are in the area, make a special trip and check it out.

Very cute, one of a kind pieces as well as other recycled items. Varied price range and there is something for everyone.

well before ‘being green’ was as en vogue as it seems to be these days, regeneration was there in eagle rock as the first boutique of its kind in the area outside of say, whole foods market where you could find sustainable, eco/​earth-​friendly, organic, and fair trade items like clothing, shoes, accessories, jewelry, housewares, furniture, and other gift items like candles, lotions, soaps and baby items. kelly, the owner, is very friendly and helpful and the store is so charming. there have been many similar places that have sprung up recently (silverlake comes to mind) but this is still my favorite one to frequent and what could be more sustainable and make you feel better than supporting a local business?
oh yeah, and i love the melissa shoes i’ve bought there made of recycled plastic, so much that i ended up buying them in 2 different colors. and they smell like you have strawberry shortcake dolls on your feet. no joke.

If you are waiting for a table at Fatty’s or Casa Bianca, walk down and check out this beautiful little place. It’s a good thing husband was there to keep me in check. Otherwise, I could have spent a lot of money here. Adorable t-​shirts, skirts, and dresses for women. Cute little baby t-​shirts. Fun accessories and household items. Just bring a credit card with a high limit. It’s not cheap.

This store, near the Chalet and Casa Bianca, is SOOO cute. Not only is it cute, but it’s not terribly expensive. There’s an assortment of clothes, purses, jewelry, vases, cards, books? I can’t remember if they had books. I went in the week between Christmas and New Year’s for the first time and was so disappointed I hadn’t notice this store before Christmas, because it could of been the only place I would have had to go. BUT… the best part is that the store’s purpose is to promote enviromental awareness which means every item in stock is either recycled, organic, sustainable, fair trade/​sweatshop free and donates a percentage of proceeds to environmental organizations. It doesn’t get much better than that.
